“If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.” — Andrew Carnegie

We set goals for ourselves. We get excited and enthusiastically do the things to achieve that goal for the first few months (or weeks); then we missed and forget every once in a while; until the occasional forgetting becomes permanently not doing anything to achieve that goal anymore. This is what happens usually, and the reason for most of us not achieving our goals.

What is the fundamental factor that drives you to do what you do? Why? These questions are important and faced by all. Being able to answer this and understanding the primary purpose behind your work is important to find true happiness in all your future endeavors. Whether it be in sports, school, or business, knowing your “why” is an important concept to understand.

I know we find someone that we’d love to lasso the world and the moon with, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But there are other important things that we must realize individually, and that’s to have our own goals and aspirations, set a part from the one we love. Don’t look at it as a bad, thing.

Too many times, we don’t take ourselves as seriously as we should. We live in the moment, we laugh as hard as we seek good times, but we don’t plan as thoroughly as we should. So how is it possible to have great times without a blue-print? It’s not possible!
